What age can you ride a horse and cart on the road?

Yes, you can ride your horse on the road , but if you haven't taken your horse on the road before it is better to walk them or lead them along a quieter road.Yes you can ride them on the road but it is better to walk and never cante Ron the road as it hurts there hoofs and it can damage them. you always have to be alert of cars when riding on the roads. It is better to ride with someone on the roads.In most areas you can ride on the road so long as you are wearing appropriate safety gear including a helmet, boots, and a safety vest and possibly something reflective. Typically you'll want to stay out of traffic and on the sidewalks if able. If you must be on the road, insure that motorists see you well before you move in any direction. It's also wise to check with your local laws to see if it's legal to ride in the streets.Yes you canyes, but no faster than trot and learn to use your arms as indicators to where you are going. I would also ensure that the horse is "road safe" before you ride it. This means that it has been conditioned to road traffic and will not spook and put you in a dangerous position.Defenitly
